My love in the artistic and executive process is bringing disparate voices together, and allowing the synergy that emerges to grow. I have brought this inclusive vision to all of my curating, with a focus on new music, and interdisciplinary art. I am unswayed by trends and yet excited by all voices; and I am tremendously interested in nurturing new talent - Paola Prestini
